Negotiators from the labor unions propose to set a minimum wage of 8,500 lempiras, according to the leader of the Confederation of Workers of Honduras (CUTH), Jose Luis Baquedano.
“In this country to live more or less, a worker must earn monthly lempiras of 8,500 to cover the cost of basic food, and health, housing, education and utilities,” said the labor leader.
“If a minimum wage is based on nothing more than basic food, that means that the worker is unable to meet demand for housing, health and education, we must speak of fair wages to improve living conditions” he said.
I believe that this is mandatory that Honduras have a minimum wage(8,500 lempiras is equivalent to 425 U.S. dollars). If, for example, Honduras continues to not have minimum, the worker who is willing to work the most hours for the least amount of pay will get the job. This is not how it should works. Workers that have an education and experience ought to have a better chance of working than the person who will work for less money. The workers who work for the lowest pay often do not want to work as hard because the poor pay.
